The Middle East/North Africa (MENA) region of the world, which has long been a focus for international coalitions seeking to enhance global stability, has for many years struggled to advance regional security stability, principally due to the region’s complex geopolitical dynamics and a dearth of effective regional institutions and frameworks. Given this reality, the Economic Cooperation Foundation (ECF, Israel), the Amman Center for Peace and Development (ACPD, Jordan), and the International Peace and Cooperation Center (IPCC, Palestine), assembled a team of leading security experts and former security officials from Israel, Jordan, Palestine, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) within the framework of a Regional Strategic Dialogue (RSD) to analyze the many security threats facing the region as a whole and each country individually, and to develop security mechanisms to mitigate and address those threats and advance security stability in the region.
